Got around to getting the grille installed and i have to say i feel like I'm driving a brand new truck again!!
Install was super easy and i even managed to save every clip on the OEM grille (JUST KIDDING!! ) i broke every single one off lol Hopefully you have more patience than me. Other then that it was as easy as taking off a few bolts and then putting the new grille on. I used a t-tap connector to splice into the passenger side marker light. Overall the entire install took 20 minutes and was one of the easiest swaps I've ever done. Let me know what you guys think of the new look and please don't mind the bumper. Its next on the list for another mod!!!
I tried to grab some pics to show you the flake in the paint. Keep in mind the truck, the grille, and the headlights were all painted at different times by different people but i think they blend together almost perfectly!!
Wow this rig has come a long way... wow love the name too EcoBeast
It sure has and no signs of stopping anytime soon. Just got some new goodies in the mail today I'll post some pictures of later!
As far as "Eco Beast" goes... the name used to be original but I'm pretty sure now there's 1,000,000 of them lol but either way I'm sticking with it, it's been too long to change now I guess.
Awesome looking truck as well man, love the ruby red with appearance package. Now it's time to spend the next few years modding it lol

As promised, I've had an idea for that bumper for some time and here's the parts I needed to make it happen. As always nothing but Rigid on this truck
My idea for these lights requires a little welding, cutting and fab so the final product might take a week or so but since I haven't done anything yet I'm open to suggestions on where to put them from anyone. Keep in mind I'll be using a thin Linex coating to properly cover the bumper when it's all done to hide imperfections along the way.
Stage 1 of the bumper makeover is done. Used a wire wheel and angle grinder to remove the paint and give the skid plate a "brushed metal" look to it. Next up is cutting the front panel to accept the new lights
Next step is complete. Bumper plate has been cut to fit the lights and got a mounting system figured out and welded up. Please pay no attention to how terrible the welds look lol It will be off to Linex on tuesday.
Also on a side note i did the best mod to it that I've done yet. Bought it a house to stay in and built an entire garage shelving system to make it fit!!
